Man some people seeing this as a personal victory is a new low. The talk about how European buyers are more neutral and only buy the superior PS product ( AKA Xbox One sucks) is even more false. Europe is less neutral than the US, most people here don't even know what an Xbox is and think a console is a Playstation. Most people won't even consider a Xbox allthough it has some great games with more to come. Playstation selling more has to do with the European mindset, not with how much better Playstation is than Xbox ( and that's your own perception, enough people think the contrary)

And why do Europeans consider PS a console and not nothing else, casue PS has always been the best product for them, the most varied gaming libraries that could full fill the needs of any Euro marlet, something neither xbox or nintendo could ever do. 

PS4 superior hardware and superior 3rd party games is no perception but Fact of the reality we live in. 

Euros buy the product that fits their needs best, it really is that simple.

Microsoft announced the Kinectless bundle on the 13th. This is for the week of the 17th. Didn't literally EVERYONE expect sales to drop for May because of that?

It sold 5,172 units last week.

uhh they just announced the kinectless xbo for june... If i was waiting on it to come down, june would be when i would jump on it. this is premature, much like the GOTG for titanfall.

And again, it sold 5,172 units last week. It's been selling around 5k a week for a while now.

Maybe I should just add that to the OP.

Is that not a drop for May? Besides, UK has ALWAYS been the main selling country for Xbox One in Europe. What makes it different now?

The PS3-360 ratio was 2:1 in mainland Europe. This is 8:1. The 360 was healthy. The X1 is selling half of Wii U. That makes it pretty different in my view.

that the 360 sold around 16 million in mainlad europe, and XB1 will be lucky to achieve half of those sales if things keep doing they way they are.

I think a lot of people know about xbox. They just despise it after 360, RROD, and no support since 2011...


So that's why the biggest newspaper in my country only recently said Xbox is being made by Nintendo? The general audience really doesn't know and the more hardcore buy Playstation because it has the general mindset and all their friends have one.

Whatever fits in your world where Playstation rules and the rest sucks. I live in Europe, I know how it is here and it's certainely not how you describe it

They're pretty close right now aren't they in terms of 6 months after release? I dont see how 360 sales are that much of a difference.
